Is this Purelife Renew Yarn review helpful?

I brought a skein home from my LYS to try. First I think the needle size is off. I swatched with a 7 & 8 needle (washed and dried it) we all agreed that the part done on size 7 was best! I can't imagine knitting this yarn with a ten.
It feels okay, but to me the colors are blah and the yarn ordinary. I and can think of other yarns that will give me for my money.
